Makoto grinned as she chopped vegetables. At her side, Nephlite was rolling the meat into paddies, rubbing in spices for flavor. Makoto smiled at her husband, who was quickly learning how to become a good chef under her wing.
Makoto smiled and leaned against her husband who gave her an amused look. This simple life was suiting him well, she could tell. Away from the stress of the palace, he was free to advise people on astronomical dates of good fortune and give out horoscopes. For herself, Makoto was just glad to by his side. "Content there, Makoto?"
"You have no idea."
Makoto and Nephlite-After getting married scarce two weeks after Endymion rose to the throne, these two have living in martial bliss. They live together as a happy family.

Rei sighed as she pulled her daughter back into her arms. Jadeite grinned as Yurei gave her mother trouble before walking over and taking the child into his arms. The toddler cried to be put back with it's toys on the floor. Hotaru shook her head at her younger sister and went back to the large scroll in her lap. "Having trouble, dear?" chuckled Jadeite as he jogged his daughter a bit to silence her.
Rei threw her hands up the air in exasperation. "You people! Hotaru and I are the only sane people in this family anymore, I think!"
Hotaru giggled from behind the scroll and Jadeite grinned at his wife. "Well, I love you too, darling."
Rei shook her head but smiled all the same before reaching for her youngest child again.
Rei and Jadeite-They had a beautiful baby girl named Yurei nearly eight months after Endymion's accession. They're living happily even if they're a little cramped-Rei has officially forsaken her past to live with her family. Hotaru is overjoyed to have a new sister.

Ami smiled as she finished tying up the bandage on her young patient, a young girl who had fallen and scrapped her knee hard. She had simply cleaned the wound and wrapped bandages around it. Her patient sniffled as her mother thanked her happily as she pulled her daughter out the door.
"Helping them for free again, eh?"
Ami turned as she heard Zoisite chuckle. He was grinning and leaning in his chair so that only two feet remained on the ground. She walked over and leaned against the table where his feet were propped.
"Our kings new legislation supporting free clinics has brought a lot of people in lately." answered Ami. Zoisite grinned.
"Ah, so you and your mother are some of the experimental new free clinics, huh?"
"Ah huh." she nodded. "So, how can I help you, Zoisite?"
Zoisite stopped rocking back and forth as a mischievous glint shone in his eyes. "If I had a hurt would you kiss it and make it better?"
"Depends." she murmured, walking over to his chair. He grinned and tapped his lips.
"Here."
"There?" she asked, raising her brows.
"Here." he repeated. She nodded and bent forward.
"Ah huh." she said. She calmly bent forward-and hooked her foot behind one of the legs, tugging it forward. She shook her head as he yelped and hit the floor. He rubbed his head and huffed. "Well, it serves you right for being a nuisance again."
He looked at her thoughtfully before standing up and leaning close to her, thoughtful expression turning into one of careful decision. Ami eeped as he leaned forward-and stole a kiss. She yelped and tried to slap him. He ducked, grinning. "Fine way to treat you fiancé, Ami!"
"Oh, you-!"
Ami and Zoisite-Engaged for nearly half a year, they'll be married soon. Ami is now working with her mother in a free clinic to help out with the workload-not that she's complaining. Zoisite's still working as a spy to try and ferret out anyone who might cause Endymion any trouble.

Mina rested against her husband's side as he slept. Barely four hours ago they were married-again. They had decided three months earlier that they should be married in the ceremonies of both of their societies.
Despite her and her husband's relatively young age, they had been made ambassadors to the Zojotentian Riders and her own country. Minako couldn't have been happier-it gave them the full excuse to bounce around between her home and this one. Beside her, Kunzite turned and buried his face in her hair.
"Awake again?" he murmured, looping an arm around her bare shoulders. She smiled slightly.
"Mmmhmm." she murmured. "Too excited yet to sleep." She felt him smile into her hair.
"Do try to-they'll just be throwing more parties tomorrow." Minako huffed.
"Shiva have it, I'll have to wear my veils again." she grumbled. He chuckled.
"We'll make excuse-say were too tired or one of us doesn't feel well."
She smiled. "Alright, but I'm going to hold you to it."
Minako and Kunzite-After Endymion's succession to the throne, Minako and Kunzite returned to Minako's country and were married. Endymion has made them ambassadors for the two countries-which was perfect for them.
---------------
Usagi rested against the balcony's balustrade, smiling as she viewed the sunset set the horizon. How bizarre it was a year after the rebellion that placed her husband on the Zojotentian throne that she would celebrating another marriage? Minako made for a lovely bride and Kunzite a handsome groom and she was truly happy for them both-she had missed the ceremony that they had held for their marriage to satisfy Minako's people and now they had held a Rider's marriage so they marriage was legal to both people.
Her hand rested upon her very round belly and she smiled; soon her and Mamo-chan's-she couldn't help but think of him with that name as he did with her!-child would be welcoming the world herself.
Behind her, she heard the soft whisper of boots on the marble and the door swung open. Her husband smiled at her and leaned against the doorway. "And what, may I ask, are you doing?"
"Watching the sun set." she grinned cheekily. He shook his head and walked over to her, resting his hands on her swollen belly.
"Ami and her mother have told you plenty of times to stay in bed and rest-the time is drawing near as they keep saying." tsked Mamoru. Usagi gave him a pretty pout.
"Fiddle sticks! I feel fine and I want to the see the sun-I'm not a bird to keep locked away."
Mamoru grinned down at her. "No, perhaps not." Usagi smiled up at him.
"I love you."
"And I, you." he murmured, kissing her hand. "But you should still be in bed!"
"Mamo-chan!" scowled his wife. He laughed and kissed her as the sun sunk below the horizon.
Mamoru and Usagi- Mamoru and Usagi were married a few months after Mamoru usurped his brother. They are expecting a beautiful baby girl within a month(she arrives right on her mother's birthday no less!) Ruling and taking care of country after Diamond is a hard struggle but they are preserving. They are planning for more children and want a large family.
